New Challenge for Oceania and Australia
Hi, WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest!

Revert
Hi-- I think the only way to get an inexperienced disruptive editor to follow policies (if possible) is to lead by example. I'm still hoping we can get Chemia to behave constructively. Please don't revert her without some explanation on the talk page or in the edit summary, even if the reason is apparent to others. Thanks. Eperoton (talk) 01:49, 5 February 2017 (UTC)


 * More on reversions ... I honestly and sincerely disagree with you, but apparently your "vote" carries more weight on WP at this time regarding what you can "revert". OK.  I defer to your current status, but I will inform you in advance that I intend to challenge you on your rights to revert and edit my changes.  IF I made a disruptive change, then I must have done so accidentally, and for that I apologize.  However and again, I will not allow my changes to be reverted without reason.  Logic and reason will dictate which edits will remain.  Bad policies can and will be changed.  This is not a blind dictatorship.  We can acknowledge and update policies that do not work for the greater good.  WP has many policies in place re: edits that need to be updated to prevent the abuse of "undo" by singleton editors, such as yourself.  In my opinion, WP is due for a major overhaul - and I intend to be a part of that process.  So, your reversions remain for now.  Just be forewarned that not everyone agrees with your decisions, and you will be challenged.  - TJ Powell in Houston, Texas April 22, 2017
